And a large portion of people seeing this film likely have the IQ of a potato left out to bake in the sun.

This is one of the few times, as of late, where I actually fall in line more with the critics. I’m glad I moved past rabid fandom years ago. I’d never be able to enjoy anything, if I was even remotely like the “majority” seem to be.

I know. The Last Jedi was hilarious and awesome. The main protagonist's character arc totally exists! She's awesome, and then becomes more awesome by looking inside herself and finding her inner awesomeness! Not to mention the progressiveness! Totally PC, bruh. Anyone who sees this film as being chauvinistic just doesn't understand the director's vision. It was too subtle. Unnecessary subplots? Unnecessary if you don't like awesomeness! And the dialogue!

But seriously... they had me at Milked Space-*******. Rabid fandom doesn't know quality when they see it.

The majority don't know how to like anything. Whenever I tell people this sort of thing, they call me a hipster. Can you believe that? For instance: Music. Like, there's this band I'm into that you've never heard of, because they're totally obscure, but like, you just wouldn't get it anyway. That's how awesome they are. It's a collective named after an obscure plant species bred in a lab, where they splice the DNA of soy and kale. The Koy Collective. Total post-synth garage krunk. The DJ stands there on stage for an hour, beating himself over the head with a laptop, while everyone else inserts miniaturized electric instruments into their ******. It's mostly feedback. You have to have a really, really, really high IQ in order to get it. Not that I think highly of myself, I'm just being honest here.

Nice ****post.

Browse the internet for a while and you’ll understand. Hell, check the YouTube comments section on some video reviews.

I already acknowledged the casino subplot being pretty unnecessary. However, half of the people I’ve seen bitching about this film apparently can’t grasp how Snoke was bested and the other half are too busy flipping out over the way Luke was handled.

Anyway, I don’t even care about the progressive, PC nature of the film, honestly. And this is coming from someone who feels it is sometimes thrust at us a bit too often these days.

Respectfully, I disagree with your strategy. You should always make fun of tactless people, when they respond with insults instead of a premise. Never take the high road, because it puts you at a disadvantage. Instead, incorporate ridicule into coherent arguments. That's not a logical fallacy, so long as it doesn't replace the argument itself.

"You're wrong, because you're an *****." is an ad hominem argument. It's false.

"If all X's are Y's, and all Y's are Z's, then all X's are Z's. You should know all about Z's because I've met your mother." is a perfectly coherent argument, augmented by ridicule.

The trick here is to provide negative reinforcement. Demonstrate to the bully that they're just setting themselves up for more ridicule, in leading with insults instead of attempting a coherent argument. Continue to ridicule them until they articulate a thought. Then ease up. You'll alter their behavior in no time.

explain it in plain english please

 

[DarthBakura]

Yeah, not to get into any of your drivel, but I’m fairly certain I can live with myself for calling out the IQ of some of the “fans” I’ve seen spewing their venom and foaming at the mouth. Not necessarily here, mind you. I’ve been to this thread all of three times.

what did they say? what made you so upset

Bullies are cowards. When you tell bullies to be nice, they will keep bullying you because nice isn't scary. You have to be mean to bullies, while explaining yourself. When bullies stop bullying and explain themselves, that's when you should stop being mean. They'll eventually have a conversation without bullying that way, because deep down, all bullies are afraid of humiliation. They bully to feel better about themselves.

Ah, I see. You're smarter than people who don't like the movie elsewhere, but here, where you've been met with opposition and compared to a hipster, you don't necessarily think that people who hate the film are stupid. How benevolent of you.

See Crows, this is what I'm talking about. He's wavering in the face of ridicule. Bullies hate confrontation, because their cowardice is what inspires them to be mean in the first place. Politely telling this person, "I don't think calling people stupid is very nice" isn't going to dissuade him from sounding as if he's been raised in a barn. Compare him to a hipster, and suddenly he's detracting.
